Ingredients
  

  • For the Fries:
  • 4 large russet potatoes cut into fries
  • Vegetable oil for frying enough to cover fries
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • For the Voodoo Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Chopped green onions
  • Crumbled bacon optional
  • Shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil’s temperature by dropping in a small piece of potato. If it sizzles right away, it’s ready.
  2. Fry the First Batch: Add a handful of fries to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pot, as that can cause the fries to become soggy.
  3. Remove the Fries: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Season immediately with salt.
  4. Fry the Second Batch: Repeat the process with the remaining fries, frying in batches to keep the oil temperature stable.
  5. Prepare the Fries for Seasoning: Once all the fries are fried and drained, place them in a large mixing bowl.
  6. Season the Fries: Toss the fries with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Stir gently to coat all the fries evenly with the seasoning.
  7. Assemble the Loaded Fries: Arrange the seasoned fries in a serving dish or a large platter.
  8. Add the Voodoo Sauce: Drizzle the voodoo sauce generously over the fries, ensuring that every fry gets a little bit of the rich, spicy goodness.
  9. Top with Cheese: If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle shredded cheddar on top of the hot fries so that it melts slightly.
  10. Garnish with Green Onions and Bacon: If you like, garnish the fries with freshly chopped green onions and crumbled bacon for extra flavor and texture.
  11. Serve Immediately: These fries are best served immediately while they’re hot and crispy. Grab a fork or dive in with your hands, depending on how messy you want to get.
  12. Enjoy! Relish each bite of these perfectly seasoned, crispy, and flavorful loaded Louisiana fries.

Notes

  • Make It Spicy: Add chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the voodoo sauce for more heat.
  • Vegan Alternatives: You can easily make this recipe vegan by substituting the mayonnaise with a plant-based version and leaving out the cheese and bacon.
  • Cheese Variations: Swap out the cheddar for other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor.
  • Toppings: Consider adding sautéed onions, diced tomatoes, or even guacamole for a creative twist.
